Consolidating audio for a session?

[pennyco]

I recently recorded several songs on one large session then broke them out into individual sessions using the "save as" function. All of the sessions are pointing at the same audio folder, which is pretty large. I now need to send a couple of songs off to another studio to mix. Question is, is there a way to consolidate each song session with it's own audio folder (and only the relevant audio files) to bring down the overall size? Under "Save copy in" there is an option to copy "All Audio Files", but that doesn't help.

I'm being extra careful here and hesitate to clear anything for fear of losing needed audio.

actually, p-co,
you're doing it the right way;
you just need to clear unused regions
from your individual sessions
before saving copy in
and copy all audio files.

that will give you an audio file folder containing only the relevant files.

Good to know that I'm on the right track. When you say "clear", there is the option to "Remove" or "Delete". Looks like Delete will actually delete from the source so doing that first would affect all of my other sessions. So If I've got this straight, you're saying that I should clear and remove from the individual sessions, yes?

Thanks

Hi,

In regions list select unused files then select clear (don't delete!) then save as a new name then save copy in.

If you don't save as a new name then next time you open the session it will be looking for all those regions you removed!!!
